Care and Repair NPT Telecare Service (Lifeline)

Telecare system operates by using a variety of sensors and detectors placed around the home which are linked to a call monitoring centre. They can for example, detect a fall, household flooding or that the gas has been left on. It can also provide peace of mind and improve security by means of ‘bogus’ caller buttons and smoke alarms.

The cost is currently £7.60 per week, however, anyone who has been identified as needing Telecare as part of a Social Services package of care, may undergo a financial assessment, following which, the cost will depend entirely upon the ability to pay.A Telecare Assessor from the Local Authority will visit you at home to assess your needs and refer your details to our Telecare Handyperson who will then visit you to install all the equipment that has been recommended.
